How do I lower my taxable income this year and any tips for future years ?

Hi there, 

 

I file taxes married jointly. I take the standard deduction. Are there any deductions / credits I am missing? are there anything I can plan ahead to reduce taxes in future years?

 

  1. For 2023:
    1. maxed pre-tax 401k 
    2. maxed HSA
    3. Income too high for deductible traditional IRA 
    4. taking the standard deduction
    5. Only see child credit and childcare credit
    6. What other tax deductions and credits am I missing?
    7.  
  2. For 2024: 
    1. Are there any tax planning I can do now to reduce the AGI?
